Velkommen til dette forumet, som er basert på systemet Simple Machines Forum (SMF)! Du har kanskje sett litt på hovedsiden eller et skjermbilde som sier at du må registrere deg for å lese, og nå lurer du på hva du skal gjøre for å komme videre?
Noen fora tillater uregistrerte gjester både å lese og skrive, mens andre tillater bare lesing hvis man ikke er innlogget. Videre er det noen som ikke viser fram alt innholdet til uregistrerte brukere. Vi anbefaler alltid at du registrerer et brukernavn på ethvert forum du regner med å bruke regelmessig, fordi mange av de mest nyttige egenskapene er bare tilgjengelige for innloggete brukere. SMF er et fleksibelt system med mange muligheter for tilpasninger. Det er derfor ikke sannsynlig at du vil finne to identiske løsninger. Vi vil derfor begrense denne hjelpefilen til å forklare de vanligste elementene du kan regne med å finne på et SMF-forum.
Hovedmenyen
Når du kommer inn på forumet som gjest, eller ikke har logget inn med brukernavnet ditt, vil hovedmenyen (som er synlig på alle forumsidene) satt sammen av fem eller seks knapper (eller tekst-linker):
- Hovedside, som er raskeste vei til startsiden.
- Hjelp, som henter opp denne siden.
- Søk,som du kan bruke for å søke i forumet etter noe du leter etter.
- Kalender, som henter opp forumets kalender (hvis den er tilgjengelig).
- Logg inn, som brukes for å logge inn hvis du allerede har et brukernavn.
- Registrer, som er stedet du må gå for å registrere deg (eller søke om tilgang i noen tilfeller) hvis du ønsker ditt eget brukernavn og passord.
Med en gang du har registrert deg og loggget inn vil hovedmenyen se litt annerledes ut:
- Hovedside (som før).
- Hjelp (som før).
- øk (som før).
- Rediger Profil, hvor du kan gjøre endinger åpå din egenbrukerprofil.
- Kalender (som før).
- Logg ut, som brukes for å loggge ut igjen hvis du ønsker det.
Forum administrators should also note the presence of an additional Admin button.
Hovedsiden
Du vil normalt finne mye informasjon på hovedsiden (forumets hjemmeside), men kjernen i skjermbildeoppsettet (i det minste ved standard layout) ser omtrent slik ut:
